Sat, 06 Feb 2010 05:39:59 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbcprofootballtalk/?p=71644#comment-460736The Kansas City Chiefs hire Crennel and Weis as their coordinators and the Bears get two guys that nobody else would hire. When did the Bears become a small market team ? This is what happens when a penny pinching 85 year old woman has a strangle hold on a franchise.
Lovie Smith shot his brains out when he fired Ron Rivera after the ’06 season and it will be fun watching him get canned after the 2010 train wreck. Maybe after a fourth consecutive non playoff season someone will have enough sense to give Bill Cowher a call.

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:30:49 +0000http://localhost/wp/nbcprofootballtalk/?p=71644#comment-460734Out of options at OT, this “line coach” was forced to play Damien Woody (who had been a healthy scratch for the 4 games prior) at the end of the ’07 season and found out he was the best OT on the team!?! How was an NFL coach (who’s specialty, allegedly, is in the trenches) not able to recognize this in training camp? Or be able to pick his best 7-8 D-linemen as opposed to carrying 10-12 on the roster?
Bears, good luck amassing the 7-8 pro bowlers that are required to make his D work.

That sounds fantastic! Go Bears! The future is now.

Rod Marinelli: The last place defense and 7-9 record was all Mike Martz’s fault!!!!
So was the 0-16 season!!! All Martz’s fault!!!
Joe Cullen driving in a Wendy’s drive-thru naked!!! All Martz’s fault!!!
The potential divorce between my idiot defensive coordinator son-in-law and daughter!!! All Martz’s fault!!!!

REALLY?
Please provide the reference to this alleged fact.
Marinelli clearly declined the opportunity to become the DC for da Bears a few weeks ago. The reason? Because he’s much more comfortable not being directly responsible for anything and being a ‘rah, rah’ bag of wind.
My evidence of this? Take a look at what positions he’s held for his entire career.
Loser Rod will be one and done as DC. The Bears D will be worse than the Lions this year – take it to the bank!

Tice, Martz, Marinelli?!?!

I’m a die-hard Bears fan but this bunch of retreads is not sitting right with me!

… but the team isn’t or even close, so unless Rod, Martz, & Tice can put on a uniform & play both sides of the ball, while playing multiple positions on each side then… The bears STILL SUCK!!!
GO PACK GO!!!
